Researchers at Penn State University, Stanford University and the University of Arizona are beginning to unravel the mystery about how ultra-dilutions (remedies) work. The Material Science Laboratory at Penn State, the #1 material science laboratory internationally (rated as such in 2003), led the research effort. In papers published in Material Research Innovations (The Structure of Liquid Water; Novel Insights From Material Science; Potential Relevance to Homeopathy; December 2005) and Homeopathy (July 2007), researches Roy, Bell, Hoover, et al present the vast data on the structure of water and its ability to change and retain structure in the presence of a remedy. These findings strongly suggest that the 19th century chemistry arguments used to denigrate homeopathy are unscientific and irrelevant. These authors establish that it is the structure of water that dictates its properties. Changes in the structure of water change the information content in water.

Thinking About Swine Flu Vaccine? Think Twice
September 4, 2009 – 10:11 pm

The UK government has sent a confidential newsletter to senior neurologists informing them that the new swine flu shot is linked to a deadly nerve disease.
From Daily Mail, UK August 15: “The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins. |
It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications.” Read more here….
In 1976 the swine flu vaccine caused more harm than the swine flu virus itself. One person died from the swine flu itself, 25 people died from adverse reactions to the vaccine, while several hundreds of people were crippled by the Gulian Barre Syndrome. Will history repeat itself?
Educate Yourself About the Swine Flu Vaccine
September 1, 2009 – 10:43 am
Watch this video aired on August 12, 2009, featuring CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton and NVIC’s Barbara Loe Fisher.
What they say here is that there is always a risk and benefit for the vaccine. In the case of swine flu 50-30% of population has extremely mild symptoms or non at all when infected with the H1N1 flu virus. Yes, there is 1% of deaths from swine flu, on the other hand, there are 180,000 deaths each year as a result of a medical error, the equivalent of three jumbo-jet crashes every 2 days.
We do not know what percentage of people will receive adverse reaction to this vaccine. Judging from what happened before and the short period of development there will be probably rather high percentage.
Many in the medical community are also cautious of the vaccine: ” Countries need to assess carefully the risks and benefits of rapid approval” of an H1N1 vaccine, writes the British medical journal The Lancet in an editorial in its current edition, “especially since the disease has so far been mild with most patients making a full recovery.”
Homeopathy for Spanish Flu
August 31, 2009 – 10:24 pm
Homeopathy has a long history of successfully fighting the flu. It proved to be very successful during the horrible Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918. According to the report of the American Institute of Homeopathy in 1921, the death rate of the 24,000 flu cases under conventional medical care was 28.2%, while the death rate of the 26,000 flu cases under homeopathic care was 1.05%.
The Homeopathic Medical Society of the District of Columbia reported fifteen hundred cases of flu with only fifteen deaths. In Ohio’s National Homeopathic Hospital, the recovery rate from the flu was 100%. Dr. T. A. McCann, MD, Dayton, Ohio reported that of the 1,000 cases of influenza, there were no deaths reported.
Body Burden
August 21, 2009 – 9:38 am
The term ” Body Burden ” refers to the total amount of toxic chemicals that are present in the human body. We may inhale the toxins, swallow them in contaminated food or water, or absorb them through skin. In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals, pollutants, and pesticides found in the group. The study results were published in Public Health Reports (Thornton, et al. 2002).
The study volunteers did not work with chemicals and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Scientists have not studied the health risks of exposures to complex chemical mixtures, such as those found in this study. For two-thirds of the chemicals found, many of which are banned, researchers have partially studied the extent to which these chemicals can harm human health. They have found that these 112 compounds can threaten nearly every organ in the body at every stage of life.
In total, the nine subjects carried:
- 76 chemicals linked to cancer in humans or animals (average of 53),
- 94 chemicals that are toxic to the brain and nervous system (average of 62),
- 86 chemicals that interfere with the hormone system (average of 58),
- 79 chemicals associated with birth defects or abnormal development (average of 55),
- 77 chemicals toxic to the reproductive system (average of 55), and
- 77 chemicals toxic to the immune system (average of 53).
Toxic effects do not require high doses. It is not until these chemicals are removed completely that we can regain normal bodily function for optimal health. People today carry within their bodies a ´chemical cocktail´ made up of industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, and the residue of conventional pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.
Detoxification using embryonic plant tinctures (Gemmotherapy tinctures) will help your body to detoxify safely and effectively in order to regain your health and vitality.

Do You Suffer from a Hormonal Imbalance?
August 19, 2009 – 9:26 am
If you’re experiencing any one or more of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from hormonal imbalance:
 |
|
Signs of hormonal imbalance often begin in the late 20’s and increase as we age. Teens may also experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance with the onset of menstruation. An imbalance can be especially noticeable pre-menstrually, or during stressful life transitions such as the postnatal period, peri-menopause, or menopause itself.
In women, hormonal imbalance manifests primarily in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. These hormones are in delicate balance, and slight variations in this balance can cause many adverse symptoms.
Hormone replacement therapy and bio-identical hormones are often used in an attempt to reestablish the hormonal balance in the body. The intricate hormonal equilibrium that is individual to every woman is so very subtle that it is difficult to regulate artificially. Hormone replacement therapy and even bio-identical hormones may give body something that it does not need, resulting in undesirable “side effects”.
The homeopathic approach to hormone imbalance is holistic, restoring balance to the whole person on all levels: physical, mental and emotional. Rather than giving the body something that it may not need, homeopathy supports the body through life’s stressful transitions gently, safely and effectively. The homeopathic remedy stimulates the body to rebalance itself, promoting proper hormonal regulation and restoring the subtle hormonal mechanism without outside intervention. As the homeopathic remedy brings the body into equilibrium and the hormone imbalance subsides, the energy to do important things in life returns, moods and sleep improve, and overall susceptibility to chronic disease is reduced.
Homeopathy supports the body’s natural ability to rebalance itself in a gentle and effective manner. It offers a simple, natural, one-stop solution to many of the challenges that naturally arise during the difficult pre-menstrual, post-natal, peri-menopausal and postmenopausal times.

Local resources for healthy foods
July 16, 2009 – 8:00 pm
Local resources for healthy foods:
I have been enjoying the farmer’s markets for the last 10 years. It is addictive. The produce tastes so different from the one you buy in the stores. It is fresh and keeps longer in the fridge. The majority of fruits and vegetables have been picked the same morning. The prices for organic produce are lower than in the stores. There is more variety of locally grown foods. Even if you do not buy organic, you still get lower amount of pesticides and toxins on your foods because they are local. You see who grows you food and you eat only what is in season.
Information about local Farmer’s Markets: www.localharvest.org
If going to a farmer’s market is not convenient for you, try the Eating With the Seasons produce coop. They have all organic fruits and vegetables and almost everything is grown locally. The ordering system is simple and the staff is friendly. There are lots of pick up points all over the peninsula. You can also order eggs and meat items. Their produce tastes good and is always beautiful and in good condition. www.eatwiththeseasons.com
Want to get locally produced organic free range meat, eggs and raw milk?
The Peninsula Weston Price Foundation chapter has a few pick-up locations for raw milk, local organic free range eggs and meat, many bulk order sources, monthly potlucks, etc.
Here is a link to their website:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/TraditionalFoods/Here is the link the South Bay Weston Price Chapter:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/WAPF-SouthBay/
The Weston Price Foundation provides an amazing amount of information about the food and diet. Visit their website: www.westonaprice.org
You can now buy locally produced organic eggs at the food markets in San Mateo and Belmont. On Saturdays San Mateo market has locally produced grass fed organic meat stand (beef, chicken, and lamb) —the meat tastes completely different. My kids love this meat and you can tell the difference.
